India to build world’s fastest Supercomputer

India wants to get ahead in the technological revolution By building a new supercomputer which is 61 times faster than IBM Sequoia which is the currently the worlds fastest.

Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal has written to Prime Minister sharing the roadmap to develop “petaflop and exaflop range of supercomputers” at an estimated cost of Rs 4,700 crore over 5 years.

C-DAC has developed a proposal with a roadmap to develop a petaflop and exaflop range of supercomputers in the country with an outlay of Rs 4,700 crore.

India wants to win the supercomputer race.The world’s fastest supercomputer is the IBM Sequoia,which has a peak speed of 16.32 petaflops.The computer is based in Livermore, USA and consumes, nearly 7890.0 kW of electricity. According to the Top500 list, the Sequioa is one of the most energy efficient systems in the world.

India have a supercomputer in the current top ten list? No, India’s highest ranked supercomputer in the 2012 list is the one at CSIR Center for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation in Bangalore which is ranked at 58. 

Floating Operations per seconds (Flops or Flop) determines the time used by a computer to make heavy calculations. Exaflops are higher than peta flops and the Indian government claims that its five year project will be enough to build a range of supercomputers with processing speeds in petaflops and exaflops.

India will finally get a supercomputer in the top ten.
